The Saffron Sect : Phosphorous Flash -EP- (CAN,2006)****
This EP is beautiful '60 folkpsych like I prefer to hear it. No neo style here. With "All leads back to you" they sound like a group that would have fitted perfectly live with Pink Floyd in 1968. Also the song "Clink Clink" (?) with happy sitar and hand percussion has some Floydian touch in the slide-guitar. The other more acoustic sitar and handpercussion song, "Phosphorous Flash" (?) is more psychfolk styled, bringing another, newer group in mind like Feathers. This is really nice ! Can't wait for the full release. My pre-release copy had 4 tracks out of 6.
Saffron Sect is all together : Gaven Dianda : vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, sitar, recorders, crumhorn ; Kathrin Larocci : flute, dulcimer, glockenspiel, organ, vocals ; Matthew MacLaren : double bass, mandolin, jug ; Jay Anderson : drums, finger cymbals, gong.
Description of the label :
"The Saffron Sect play strangely appealing sounds, which to the listener seems to be a mixture of "modieval" flavoured folk rock, cosmic psychedelia, jug band ragas & Tolkien country blues. Cloud catching music for wild wooly peakers, lordly leapers and saffron twig tweakers;They intend to champion their Now sounds of Progressive Atavism and the William Norris_school of thought in and despite the modern age."
